Antenatal ultrasound value in risk calculation for Autism Spectrum Disorder: A systematic review to support future research.

There is a growing research interest on the antenatal features of children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Indeed, it has been proved that the neurodevelopment is, at least partly, affected by processes occurring in fetal life and that the early neurodevelopmental disorders identification is essential to optimize long-term outcomes. This systematic review aims to summarize findings on antenatal ultrasound data, which are or might be considered early risk indexes of postnatal social impairments.

Prospective evaluation of automated follicle monitoring in 58 in vitro fertilization cycles: follicular volume as a new indicator of oocyte maturity.

Objectives: To assess the practical use of SonoAVC in an IVF program, and to establish new criteria for hCG administration based on follicular volume.

Design: Prospective clinical study.

Setting: Private IVF Center.
